Podcast appearances and mentions of Alan Moore

Case and Jmike are joined by Doug Lief (from the Nostalgium Arcanum podcast) to talk about a family that's pretty super, The Incredibles!   Overview   In Podcast episode 142 of Men of Steel, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, alongside guest Doug Lief, delve into a comprehensive analysis of Disney's The Incredibles through the lens of Superman fandom. They explore the film's connections to other superhero media, notably its references to 60s Batman and Fleischer Superman, while debating the film's overall tone, which Case describes as having an 'angry' directorial voice. The discussion emphasizes Mr. Incredible as a Superman analog, revealing how his secret identity as Bob Parr reflects an average man grappling with superhero responsibilities amid family dynamics. The team draws parallels between the family members' powers and their roles, likening the villain Syndrome to a failed fan archetype obsessed with eliminating exceptionalism. Additionally, they analyze the film's aging animation, contextualize its place in the superhero genre before the rise of the MCU, and celebrate its blend of action and relatable family themes. The episode culminates in discussing the film's unresolved questions about the necessity of superheroes in society, concluding that it adeptly balances the extraordinary with the everyday.   Notes ‍️ Introduction and Context (01:12 - 15:47) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host the Men of Steel podcast with guest Doug Lief The discussion focuses on Disney's The Incredibles (2004) from a Superman fan perspective Doug mentions the movie's connections to Watchmen and other superhero media The hosts establish that the film is a love letter to superheroes with influences from 60s Batman, James Bond, and Fleischer Superman Case acknowledges he likes but doesn't love the movie, finding it has an 'angry' directorial voice ‍️ Mr. Incredible as Superman Analog (15:47 - 24:52) The group analyzes Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) as a Superman analog Bob Parr's name means 'average' - perfect for a secret identity His job at an insurance company creates dramatic irony (helping after harm vs. preventing it) The hosts discuss Mr. Incredible's durability, strength, and physical capabilities The film explores the tension between superhero responsibility and family obligations The 'Bob Parr' identity has real value to him beyond just being a disguise ‍‍‍ Family Dynamics and Powers (24:52 - 39:20) The Incredibles compared to Fantastic Four but with a nuclear family structure Each family member's powers serve as metaphors for their roles: Elastigirl must 'bend over backwards' for her family Violet wants to be invisible/blend in as a teenager Dash wants to show off and stand out with his speed Holly Hunter praised for her performance as Elastigirl The married couple dynamic shows mature flirtation and partnership Sarah Vowell's performance as Violet highlighted despite not being a professional actress Syndrome as Villain (39:20 - 54:00) Syndrome analyzed as Jimmy Olsen gone evil or fan-turned-Lex Luthor His character represents fandom and mediocrity wanting to eliminate specialness Syndrome observes and counters heroes' weaknesses but fails to examine his own His fatal flaw is wearing a cape, which Edna Mode had warned against The group discusses connections to Alan Moore's works (Watchmen and Captain Britain) Syndrome's robot compared to the squid from Watchmen's ending Brad Bird reportedly denies Watchmen influence despite many parallels Jack-Jack and Supporting Characters (54:00 - 01:03:00) Jack-Jack has godlike powers (17 documented in the sequel) Compared to Franklin Richards from Fantastic Four Jack-Jack helps defeat Syndrome at the end of the film Edna Mode (voiced by Brad Bird) praised as an excellent character Her role as the Q-like gadget designer who incorporates fashion The group discusses superhero costume design elements Frozone and his 'Where's my super suit?' scene mentioned Animation and Film Context (01:03:00 - 01:16:40) The film's animation shows its age (from 2004) but holds up well due to stylization Technical limitations discussed (water effects, foliage, crowds) The hosts note the film predates the MCU (2008) and Nolan's Batman (2005) The Incredibles came at a transition point for superhero cinema The movie successfully balances superhero action with relatable family dynamics Character designs discussed (Mr. Incredible's face based on a Roman helmet) Final Battle and Themes (01:16:40 - 01:26:47) The Omnidroid battle showcases the family working together effectively Team power moves highlight each character's abilities and their coordination The question of 'do we need superheroes?' explored through the final battle Dash's athletic participation at the end (coming in second) compared to Superman hiding his abilities The film doesn't fully resolve questions about exceptional people's place in society The ending shows balance between superhero and ordinary life is beneficial Conclusions and Wrap-Up (01:26:47 - 01:38:04) The Underminer appearance sets up the sequel and references Mole Man from Fantastic Four The hosts appreciate the film's commentary on superhero tropes ('you caught me monologuing') The movie works well as both a superhero film and a family story Discussion about how the film has aged and its historical context in superhero cinema Podcast information and social media contacts shared Recommendation for Books that Burn podcast from the Certain POV network

This bittersweet conversation offers valuable insights for advisors on team building, organizational growth, and embracing professional transitions with grace.

No todo en la vida es DC o Marvel, ni Dark Horse o Image. En diferentes décadas, el comic estadounidense (y a veces canadiense) tiene booms en donde surgen editoriales con breves auges, con publicaciones de nicho y a veces generales, donde hacen sus primeras armas creadores que luego serán importantes, o donde estrellas consagradas encuentran lugar para crear libremente. Hoy vamos a contarles las historias de las editoriales Aircel Publishing, AC Comics, Atlas/Seaboard Comics, Avatar Press, Blackthorne Publishing, y Malibu Comics. Solo dos de ellas siguen existiendo, y una publica solo reimpresiones. Una era una empresa que se dedicaba algo que no tenía nada que ver con los comics, el arte, o el entretenimiento, pero dio origen a una de las películas más exitosas de fines de los noventas. Otra bordea (a veces por dentro) el contenido fetichista. Hay una que es una venganza contra Marvel, y otra que se convirtió en la tercera en ventas en EEUU. Hay de todo, pero también hay curros, manejos turbios, y datos curiosos. Con música de The Lovepools, y Hole. Próximo programa: Marvel Tierra-616 / Captain Britain por Alan Moore y Alan Davis.

Case and Jmike are joined by Micah McCaw to assess the Symbolism Supreme in Alan Moore's Supreme Story of the Year.   Overview   In episode 141 of the Men of Steel podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, alongside guest Micah McCaw, delve into Alan Moore's influential 12-issue run on Supreme, titled "Supreme: The Story of the Year." They highlight the comic's groundbreaking nature upon its release in the mid-90s, reimagining Supreme—a character initially created by Rob Liefeld and akin to Superman—by incorporating innovative storytelling techniques, such as in-universe “revisions” of the character and comments on comic book history. The discussion spans various aspects of the series, including its artistic evolution through different illustrators and the provocative themes surrounding superhero relationships and villains. Notably, the podcast emphasizes Moore's ability to blend humor with meta-narrative elements while maintaining continuity amidst complex plotlines, ultimately positioning Supreme as a celebrated reconstruction of traditional superhero narratives. As the hosts reflect on its significance, they recommend further explorations of Moore's work, ensuring listeners are left with a comprehensive appreciation for the series and its impact on the comic book landscape.   Notes Introduction to Supreme (00:50 - 11:43) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host the Men of Steel podcast with guest Micah McCaw The episode discusses Alan Moore's 12-issue run on Supreme, also known as 'Supreme: The Story of the Year' The comic was published in 1995-1996 and was considered groundbreaking at the time Supreme is described as a thinly veiled Superman analog with similar powers and characteristics The hosts discuss how the book remained cutting edge for 20 years but now feels more commonplace ‍️ History of Supreme (11:43 - 25:55) Supreme was originally created by Rob Liefeld as part of Image Comics' launch Before Alan Moore, Supreme was an amoral, extremely powerful character (a Superman analog) Moore took over with issue #41 and completely reimagined the character The comic features regular flashbacks to different eras of comics, parodying Superman's timeline The art style shifts between contemporary and classic/retro depending on the time period shown Art and Creative Teams (25:55 - 35:04) Joe Bennett was the main artist, who would later work on Immortal Hulk Rick Veitch created the flashback sequences with distinct period-appropriate art styles Chris Sprouse joins as artist later in the run (only one issue in this collection) Alex Ross created promotional art and cover designs for Supreme The hosts note that the art quality is inconsistent throughout the series The Revision Concept (35:04 - 45:50) The comic introduces 'revisions' - an in-universe explanation for continuity changes Supreme visits the 'Supremacy' where all previous versions of himself exist after being revised out The concept explains why comic characters change over time The hosts discuss the meta-narrative of comics existing within a comics universe Ethan Crane (Supreme's alter ego) works as a comic artist in his civilian identity Supreme's Universe (45:50 - 57:54) The Citadel Supreme is Supreme's Fortress of Solitude equivalent The Allied Supremes of America is the Justice Society/Justice League analog Supreme has his own version of supporting characters like Lois Lane (Diana Dane) The book features extensive flashbacks to previous eras of comics history Issue #44 features EC Comics-style horror hosts challenging superheroes, explaining why heroes fell out of favor Supernatural Elements (57:54 - 01:06:50) Supreme's origin involves exposure to a radioactive meteor (Supremium) The League of Infinity includes heroes from throughout time periods including Achilles, Bill Hickok, and Aladdin The book includes various dimensions including the Hell of Mirrors and Amolinth (a photo world) The creative use of Supreme's powers includes his 'consciousness expanding' rather than using telescopic vision Goral the Living Galaxy serves as a Galactus-type cosmic entity Relationships and Romance (01:06:50 - 01:17:03) Issue #50 explores Supreme's dating life and potential relationships Three scenarios show why relationships don't work for superheroes: domestication, exploitation, or conflict Diana Dane is positioned as Supreme's potential love interest The issue offers meta-commentary on why superheroes rarely maintain stable relationships Chris Sprouse's art in this issue is praised as superior to earlier issues Villains and Antagonists (01:17:03 - 01:26:08) Darius Dax is Supreme's Lex Luthor equivalent and main antagonist The comic features various counterparts to Superman's rogues gallery Shadow Supreme serves as a negative version of the hero Optilux is a living light being with significant powers The heroes face challenges they can't simply punch their way through ⏳ Time Loop Concept (01:26:08 - 01:36:03) The comic features a time loop where Darius Dax becomes the meteor that gives Supreme his powers Supreme sees his past self, creating a stable time loop The hosts note that while time loops are common now, this was innovative in the mid-90s The League of Infinity adds to the time travel elements The hosts discuss how Moore keeps continuity coherent despite complex timeline issues Meta-Commentary (01:36:04 - 01:45:32) The comic constantly references and comments on comics history Characters discuss the structure of comic books while living in one The book reconstructs superhero tropes rather than deconstructing them (unlike Watchmen) Alan Moore is described as being on an 'apology tour' for how Watchmen changed comics The series acknowledges and pokes fun at comic book conventions while embracing them Final Plot Developments (01:45:32 - 01:54:22) Judy Jordan and her 'granddaughter' Hilda visit Citadel Supreme The drawing created by Hilda is revealed to be part of Darius Dax's plan Dax transfers his consciousness into Judy's body through nano-dust Supreme is trapped in the Hell of Mirrors as Dax takes control of the Citadel The plot twist reveals the 'child's drawing' had been a Chekhov's gun throughout the series Conclusion and Reflections (01:54:22 - 02:11:44) The hosts discuss the significance of Supreme in comics history The comic is positioned as a reconstruction of Superman after the deconstruction era The series is praised for its humor, creativity, and meta-approach to comics The hosts recommend other Alan Moore works like Tom Strong The podcast ends with contact information for the hosts and guest Micah McCaw

Alan Moore first gained recognition in the 1980s with his work for the comic 2000 AD, and DC Comic's Swamp Thing. He went on to create Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Batman: The Killing Joke, From Hell, an extraordinary take on the Jack the Ripper story, and The League of Extraordinary Gentleman.  He's often been at odds with publishers and with Hollywood, and in recent years has removed himself from the mainstream, focusing on writing novels, esoteric pursuits, and the practice of a particular kind of Magic.  This is a slightly unusual episode.  It's a recording of an event we held last October as part of our London Month of the Dead festival.  It features, Alan in conversation with the writer Gary Lachman and the artist John Coulthard.  The occasion was the publication of 'The Bumper Book of Magic'. a kind of modern grimoire, which Alan had written with his friend the late Steve Moore (no relation), another writer of comics and fellow magic practitioner. It is a book that took 20 years to come to publication. John Coulthard was the main artist and designer of the book. Alan is somewhat of a recluse these days so it was great to have him with us to talk about the book, about his friend Steve Moore, about his practice of Magic, and about the unconscious, dreams, consciousness and creativity. Gary Lachman, a previous guest on this show, was once the bass player for Blondie before he put down the plectrum and  picked up the pen, gave up rock and roll for writing, and in the years since has become the U.K.'s foremost writer on the Esoteric John Coulthard is a wonderful graphic artist who worked with Alan on many projects and is a cultural phenomenon in his own right We also hear from the audience with questions to Alan about his practice of magic.

En este episodio de Amazing Heroes exploramos la llegada de los autores británicos al comic estadounidense y su impacto en la industria. Desde los primeros dibujantes hasta la irrupción de Alan Moore, Grant Morrison y Neil Gaiman, analizamos cómo la influencia británica trajo una narrativa más oscura, crítica y adulta, desafiando el mito clásico del superhéroe. ¿Los británicos revolucionaron el cómic o lo desmantelaron irreversiblemente? ¿Marcó el camino para el futuro o impuso un modelo del que después se intentó escapar? Un episodio fundamental para entender cómo la historieta de superhéroes cambió para siempre en la década 1980.con Martín Salinas y Mariano Cholakian.⁠⁠⁠¡Siempre con el aguante comiquero de MERIDIANA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buscanos en Instagram,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠y si sos fan del programa pedinos ingreso a Discord.

Matt Fraction really should be writing the new Batman comic, but instead he made the mistake of wondering, "What exactly is this comic strip Jeff and Brooke are talking about?" It's a dangerous question to pose to yourself. Even more so, as Matt discovered, if one makes the mistake of Googling this comic strip. It kind of opens a Pandora's box. Which is what happened, and the next thing Matt knew, he was reading years' worth of Chickweed Lanes. Seriously guys, he took pages of notes! After the deep immersion, he agreed to join us on the podcast to talk about the things he witnessed. That includes: couples going to TGI Fingerbang's, something known as "ffawnky mozm fimps," curious children who lift mommy's skirt, hetero-curious ballet dancers, buttholes that look like clown's mouths, falling in love with Nazis, vaginas (with and without crawfish), "knockout gams," how much Brooke Mc-El-Dee knows about menstruation (not much!), elderly men who produce ink when startled, the hypnotic sexiness of cat's buttholes, and a final strip so surprising, it floors Brooke Dillman, almost literally. And this after two of the earlier strips nearly killed her already! Along the way, we talk about Dilbert, Alan Moore, Gene Simmons, and Kansas City's most famous serial killer. Also Matt makes a really good point about Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's our largest episode ever and for a good reason! Drake! Dillman! Fraction! Let's go!

Arlene Moss, lead executive business coach at XYPN, coaches financial planners through the challenges that come with establishing and growing their practices. On this episode, we get into how XYPN coaches bring the key component of human connection to helping advisors power their practices.

Tubi? Jim Wynorski? Comic book movie? Sometimes I think we parody ourselves. Your Stupid Minds comes to you this time around with 1989's The Return of Swamp Thing, starring Heather Locklear, Louis Jourdan and Wynorski muse Monique Gabrielle. Picking up after the events of the last movie, as best we can surmise Swamp Thing killed Dr. Anton Arcane (Jourdan) but it didn't take, since he specializes in Ra's al Ghul style immortality practices. So Swamp Thing, a.k.a. Alec Holland, wanders around the Louisiana bayou campily beating up monsters and cajun caricatures. It vaguely resembles Alan Moore's run of the comic; as if someone recited major plot points from memory to the screenwriters while they watch TV. Meanwhile, Abby Arcane (Locklear) goes to her step-father's swamp compound in some vague attempt to learn more about her dead mother. She's met by Dr. Arcane's menagerie of 80s misfits: buxom British scientist Dr. Lana Zurrell (Sarah Douglas), asthmatic other scientist Dr. Rochelle (Ace Mask, who as far as we know is not a homunculus assembled from Jim Carrey movie titles) and mercenary Miss Poinsettia (Gabrielle). There's some plot point about using Abby's blood to create an immortality serum (since she has the "exact genetic code" of her mother, which is not how genetics work). Meanwhile some crawfish-fed local youths try to snap a picture of Swamp Thing using their dad's $5,000 camera. Will Swamp Thing save the day? Will he and Abby have sex after hallucinating off a flower he picked off his body? Can Swamp Thing drive a Jeep? You'll have to listen to find out!

In this episode, the hosts delve into the final volume of Alan Moore's 'Saga of the Swamp Thing,' exploring its transition from horror to science fiction, the introduction of new characters, and the narrative structure. They discuss the avant-garde writing style, unique prose, and the environmental themes that resonate throughout the series. The conversation also touches on character interactions, relationships, and the overall impact of Moore's work on comic book storytelling.Send us a messageSupport the showFilm Chewing Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2235582/followLens Chewing on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lenschewingSpeculative Speculations: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/speculative-speculationsSupport the podcast: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/7EQ7XWFUP6K9EJoin Riverside.fm: https://riverside.fm/?via=steve-l

First up, Dulce, a member of Companeros Inmigrantes en las Montanas en Accion, or CIMA, a local organizing and advocacy group by and for immigrants in western NC about her experience working for dignity and solidarity in light of the current and past administrations. More on CIMA can be found at CIMAWNC.Org Then, Ian speaks with Kristian Williams, author of Gang Politics, Resist Everything Except Temptation, and Our Enemies in Blue, among others, about his recent book, The Illuminist: Philosophical Explanations in the work of Alan Moore. The chat touches upon Moore's work and its anarchist underpinnings, his legacy in and out of comics, the necessity of imagination, and the possibilities that arise from death and disaster. The book is available from emergencyhearts.com, emergencyhearts.bandcamp.com, and kristianwilliams.com. You can find past interviews we've done with Kristian here.

In this episode, Phillip and Eric tackle the legendary Alan Moore run of the DC comic series Saga of the Swamp Thing. They talk about its literary yet weird reimaging of Swamp Thing, its sophisticated page designs, and Eric fires Phillip from his role as Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (and Belonging?) Officer.

Most folks know Alan Moore from his acclaimed works, WATCHMEN, FROM HELL, SWAMP THING, but many don't know of his significant  contributions to the GREEN LANTERN franchise. We shine the light on how Alan quietly transformed the legend & legacy of DC's Iconic Emerald Knights! 

The Shonen Flop team is taking a much-needed holiday break in January. Instead of a new episode this week we're rerunning our favorite Patreon episode of the year! You can find our next new episode, first thoughts on Chameleon Jail on Feb 3rd.   Is the follow up to Getter Robo even better? Hell yeah it is! We and Comic Book Creator Zander Cannon (Top 10, Kaijumax) discuss Getter Robo Go.   Manga by Ken Ishikawa

We take a close look at Watchmen #11 with Marvel editor Jordan D. White! Jordan is the current editor of the Venom books, the former editor of the X-books and most important is a returning guest to our podcast! As usual we marvel over how great Watchmen is. Will fails to convince Kevin and Jordan that Alan Moore did a not-great job setting up the twist of the plot (the stuff with the island / alien). And do we talk pirate comic? You bet we do! For Loose Screws, Will is binging all of Weird Al Yankovic and Jordan can't stop watching YouTube videos of people playing MineCraft! Don't miss Jordan's cool podcast "Nature Trail to Hell" which goes over horror movies!

En el otoño de 1888, el distrito de Whitechapel en el este Londres se convirtió en el escenario de uno de los grandes misterios de la historia del crimen: los asesinatos atribuidos a Jack el Destripador. Este asesino en serie, cuya identidad nunca llegó a confirmarse, trajo de cabeza durante meses a la policía londinense y su enigmática estampa se apoderó de la prensa y la cultura popular. La serie de crímenes comenzó en agosto de 1888 con el asesinato de Mary Ann Nichols. El cadáver de Nichols fue encontrado en la madrugada del 31 de agosto con un profundo corte en la garganta y múltiples heridas en el abdomen. Sólo una semana después, el 8 de septiembre, apareció el cuerpo de Annie Chapman en un patio de Hanbury Street con heridas similares. La brutalidad de estos dos crímenes y el hecho de que estuviesen separados por sólo unos días desataron el pánico en toda la ciudad. Pero no había acabado ahí. El 30 de septiembre, en lo que se conoce como el "doble evento", fueron asesinadas Elizabeth Stride y Catherine Eddowes. Stride fue encontrada en Berner Street, y Eddowes en Mitre Square, en el centro de la City de Londres. La primera sufrió sólo un corte en la garganta, mientras que la segunda fue parcialmente descuartizada. La policía sospechó que alguien apareció en la escena del crimen en Berner Street, lo que obligó al asesino a salir huyendo y buscar una nueva víctima cambiando de vecindario para que no siguiesen sus pasos. La precisión de los cortes hizo barajar a los inspectores que se trataba de alguien con conocimientos anatómicos, quizá un cirujano o un carnicero. Pero aún faltaba un crimen, acaso el peor de todos. El 9 de noviembre los restos de Mary Jane Kelly fueron encontrados en una pensión de Spitalfields. A diferencia de los anteriores, el asesinato se produjo en una estancia cerrada. Eso dio al asesino mucho más tiempo para emplearse con su víctima. Tendido sobre un camastro, el cuerpo de Kelly estaba completamente mutilado y su rostro era completamente irreconocible. Pero lo que hizo de este criminal algo realmente especial no sólo fue la brutalidad de los crímenes tras los que no se escondían los móviles habituales como el robo o la violación, sino que presuntamente dio la cara a través de una serie de cartas dirigidas a los periódicos y la policía. Fue él quien se bautizo a sí mismo como Jack el Destripador en la más célebre de estas cartas. Se la conoce por su encabezado “querido jefe” y fue recibida por la Agencia Central de Noticias el 27 de septiembre. La siguiente sería aún más macabra ya que decía estar escrita desde el mismísimo infierno. No se sabe a ciencia cierta si estas cartas eran auténticas, pero contribuyeron a la leyenda del asesino. La policía intentó sin éxito atrapar al responsable de estos crímenes durante meses, pero no lo consiguió. Se propusieron varias teorías sobre su identidad. Se habló de médicos y hasta de miembros de la realeza, pero ninguna ha sido probada de forma concluyente. El caso, por lo tanto, sigue abierto. Los crímenes de Whitechapel tuvieron un gran impacto en la sociedad victoriana. Destaparon las condiciones de pobreza y privación que se vivían en los barrios bajos de Londres. Eso trajo en los años siguientes reformas sociales y urbanísticas. Su influencia en la prensa y la literatura fue aún mayor. Con Jack el Destripador nació un género periodístico e inspiró a novelistas como Arthur Conan Doyle, que alumbró a Sherlock Holmes en la misma época en la que se produjeron estos crímenes.

On today's episode of the Cryptid Creator Corner I've got returning guest John Harris Dunning on the show with me to chat about his new Dark Horse Comics Project, Ripperland, co-written by Steve Orlando, with artwork from Alessandro Oliveri, colors by Francesca Vivaldi, and lettering duties covered by Fabio Amelia. We touched on the project in October when John dropped in for our Horror Movie Recommendation Special that Dark Horse co-sponsored with us, but I wanted to hear the full picture, so we made time during the busy holiday season to sit down again for a bit. Ripperland is set in a dystopian future where Victorian England has become a historical theme park for American tourists. Alan Moore's From Hell has been an all-time favorite of mine so it was a delight to hear John's take on the cultural implications of the Jack the Ripper mythos and the wider nuances he's exploring about our national identities and how they interact through the detectives in the story working collaboratively to solve a murder. He also shares what the collaboration process has been like working with Steve on the project. Ripperland is out in stores on January 22, 2025. Make sure to call your shop and have them pull you a copy in advance and check the shelves for his other Dark Horse project Summer Shadows, a steamy romance thriller set on a remote Greek Island that was a favorite of mine in 2024. If you want to hear more about it, check out our 2024 conversation here. Ripperland From the publisher The year is 2188 and Jack the Ripper has returned to London. For the last century, a shattered post-Brexit England has operated as a massive Victorian theme park in exchange for American military and financial protection. But when an American mogul's grandson is killed in the heart of London, the delicate status quo is threatened. Is the killer a brilliant maniac? Americans taking advantage of their superior technology? Or the English Underground Resistance, wishing to throw off the yoke of American oppression and re-join the modern world? American Special Agent Jesse Holden and local British Police Detective Edwin Fogg must overcome their clashing ideologies in order to find the truth in the foggy streets of 22nd Century London. Summer Shadows Trade paperback available April 22nd From the publisher By day the Greek islands are all sand, sea and fun…but by night they're the perfect hunting ground for vampires! Nick Landry is searching for his ex on the unspoiled island of Avraxos. Anthony was the love of his life, and without knowing why he left, Nick can't move on. But Anthony isn't the only one to disappear on Avraxos. Coast guard officer Alekos Kourkoulos is on the trail of another young man who disappeared there. Both men had fallen in with the glamorous set onboard a jet-black superyacht moored offshore before vanishing. As the mystery deepens, Nick and Alekos discover that the brighter the sunshine, the darker the shadows… Acclaimed writer John Harris Dunning (Tumult, Wiper, Salem Brownstone) and talented artist Ricardo Cabral (Wiper) team up again to bring you this darkly seductive horror.

One of Us Is the Killer & Why Trump Isn't a Fascist   Some weeks ago, we dropped the fourth issue of The Crisis Papers on TIR, a collection of essays addressing diverse topics, available for free to all patrons. In this latest issue, we examine the futility of online outrage, particularly directed at what I've termed political “opinionists.” The inspiration for this paper came from a clip I posted of a rant on the phenomena of media “heel turns,” the overuse of the term “grift,” and the impotence of the online mob. The modern practice of “stan'ing” a celebrity or media figure has always unsettled me. While the term has declined in popularity, I don't believe this signals a decrease in fandom. Rather, fandom has adapted, reflecting a broader trend of managed allegiance in our digital age. In the article, we explore how the relationship between fandom and celebrity, particularly in leftist digital spaces, often substitutes symbolic gestures for substantive political action. Alan Moore, author of Watchmen, recently critiqued this shift, describing fandom as a “toxic” force, transforming admiration into fundamentalism and vendettas. Moore warns that this echo chamber, driven by strict orthodoxy, fosters ideological purges that many mistake for genuine activism—a digital gulag maintained by what could be called a cyber-Stalinist regime.   From the article:    This strained relationship between fandom and celebrity, especially within left-leaning digital spaces, exemplifies the illusion of political participation in the absence of real structural change. As Alan Moore, the author of Watchmen, recently argued, "fandom has toxified the world.” In an interview with The Guardian Moore explains how fandom now manifests as a mechanism for obsessive control, often spilling over into vendettas against the creators they once admired. "We've reached a point where fandom has begun to resemble religious fundamentalism," Moore suggests, where adherence to a narrow orthodoxy defines the worth of creators and personalities alike. This environment creates an echo chamber where any slight deviation from a perceived leftist consensus is seen as ideological treason, worthy of condemnation and social media shaming—a ritual that many mistake for genuine political activism. The virtual gulag is the destination that the cyber Stalinist regime is campaigning for.   Beyond the article, which our guest helped edit, we'll discuss his most recent piece in Damage magazine titled, “Is Trump Hitler or Just Woodrow Wilson?”. In the article our guest Ben Burgis lays out a coherent argument on why the fascist argument about Donald Trump obscures his actual goals with administration, and how the fascism framework in liberal circles is designed to engage true leftists away from the fight for redistribution of wealth, building a strong workers movement, into the war against Trump..whatever that may be.   Burgis writes: First, hysteria serves no one. And it certainly doesn't serve a long-term project like patiently rebuilding the workers' movement and constituting the kind of Left that could actually contest for power in as deeply anti-socialist a country as the United States. Second, the implicit logic of fascism analogies in intra-left discourse is nearly always to encourage leftists to put aside our battles with the neoliberal center over economic questions in favor of a procedural defense of democracy against what's postulated as an urgent common threat. This amounts to telling socialists to endorse pretty much the same “build the broadest possible front around the most minimal possible basis of agreement” strategy that Democrats and Never Trump Republicans have been doggedly pursuing since Trump first came down the escalator in 2015. The abject failure of the Harris campaign to lean into an economically populist message is precisely what led to an unprecedented level of working-class support for the “fascist” Trump. Endlessly relitigating January 6th and constantly reminding voters of how sensible people across the political spectrum were supporting Harris (everyone, as she and her surrogates often said, “from Bernie Sanders to Dick Cheney”) simply didn't move ordinary Americans.    So join us today as we engage in what I think will be an interesting conversation.

Alan Moore is one of the most important comic book and graphic novel creators in the business. His work has subverted the comic book genre and put radical ideas into the mainstream. Most known for his works “The Watchmen” and “V for Vendetta,” more puts anarchist and anti-authoritarian views into those series. In our latest, Scott talks with author Kristian Williams about his new book, “The Illuminist – Philosophical Explorations in the Work of Alan Moore,” which looks at the anarchist politics of Alan Moore. They discuss his subversion of long standing literary and comic book genres, characters and storylines in "The Watchmen" and "V for Vendetta," and, of course the origins and nature of Moore's anti-authoritarian political philosophy. This episode is another segment in our ongoing series on how Arts and Culture raises political consciousness. Bio// Kristian Williams has been involved in anarchist movements since the 1990s. He's also the author of “Our Enemies in Blue,” and books on Oscar Wilde and George Orwell. ——- Outro- “Green and Red Blues” by Moody Links// + “The Illuminist: Philosophical Explorations in the work of Alan Moore” (https://bit.ly/3B3Ujgh) + Kristian's website: https://www.kristianwilliams.com/ Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) +NEW: Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com) +NEW: Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
